hi guys,
as you all know(you should), Ie6 does't work with sessions, you have to have a p3p policy, and if your makeing scripts and giveing them away for free then all your scripts become useles for ie6 users...

the question i wanted to ask was if i store session id in a db table with a time stamp, would the session still need the cookie? what does it save in the cookie?

i am testing this, but this could take a while, don't have much time :? , so if anybody knows then that will save me some time.

thanks alot

Not sure what you're talking about. Sessions work fine with IE6.

Using the Cookie has nothing to do with how the session is stored. The cookie is just the default mechanism to pass the session id from page to page... you can also do it by appending it to every url.

hmmm :? , how come i've been haveing so much problems with em? they work fine in IE4+, NS6+ and opera! just not Ie6, i was under the impression that it had something to do with p3p policy.

but it seems that ie6 allows any cookie to be set if it can't be tracked, and don't ask me what i mean by that..cos i am not sure my self :P.

anyway, i am gona try this agian, with diffrenet code from diffrenet computers.

thanks.
